Bosch Dishwasher Inlet Leak? What is this part?

Dishwasher Repair

Hi everyone,

I searched high and low but couldn’t find a diagram for the Bosch dishwasher. What is happening is that overnight the dishwasher is filling back up with water. I double checked the drain house and everything is fine. Shutting the hot water fixed the problem. I turned the water back on and I finally saw where the water is coming from. It’s a white piece (maybe the inlet) on the left inner wall of the dishwasher (see attached on the top left of the picture). Does anyone know what this piece is and why would it be leaking? Am I looking at the inlet?

That is the water inlet and the reason it is leaking is most likely the inlet valve is not sealing and needs to be replaced. I wrote about a similar service call recently in my post Bosch Dishwasher Leaking Water that may help understand your problem.
